On Wednesday, the Republican-led US House of Representatives passed a resolution aimed at curbing President Donald Trump's military actions in Iran, with a close vote of 215 to 208. This resolution received support from four Republican lawmakers—Tom Barrett, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Thomas Massie—who joined all Democrats in favor. This vote highlights a growing unease among Republicans regarding Trump's management of the nearly three-month-long conflict. Although the resolution is largely symbolic and would require Senate approval and a two-thirds majority to take effect, it reflects a rare bipartisan effort to limit presidential military authority. The war has now extended into its fourth month without a clear resolution, and this vote follows three previous attempts that failed by narrower margins. In a related development, the House also moved forward with a vote on the Ukraine Support Act, which aims to provide additional security assistance to Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia.
